Chapter 1188: Strange Dad Arrives (Twenty-Five)
The answer is: no!
What kind of person is "Nie Yongsheng", who calculates others all his life, and values money more than anything else.
To borrow a sentence from Nie's mother, that is, the master of "dare to reach out for the money in the oil pot", such a person who regards money as his life, you still dare to calculate his money, don't you want his life.
This is no longer a simple matter of six dollars, but a matter of attitude and thought.
Anne took Nie Mingcheng's first manuscript fee, and scolded him so speechless that he didn't continue to entangle, and the matter seemed to end here.
Nie Mingcheng also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was finally over.
The first manuscript fee is gone, and he is exposed to a whole new world anyway.
The success of the first time greatly encouraged him and let him know that he could really rely on literature to eat.
This is the biggest gain, the first manuscript fee or something, and it doesn't matter!
Therefore, in the following days, in addition to secretly paying attention to the progress of his marriage, most of the time, he locked himself in his room to write articles.
In fact, he is really not stupid, and he is not really "dialing to move", but he has been taken care of for many years and has developed a temperament of sitting back and enjoying his success.
When he saw his father's sharpness and ruthlessness, Nie Mingcheng didn't dare to rely on others for everything, at least he would never dare to trouble his father anymore.
Hehe, help come up with an idea, buy a letter paper, and his manuscript fee can be collected. If he asks his father for any help, won't all the manuscript fees he earns fall into his father's pocket?
Isn't it just to contribute to the newspaper, as long as he writes well, even if he doesn't have his father's help, he can still succeed.
However, the cruel reality tells him that there are some things that really cannot be accomplished by hard work.
No matter how well the article is written, if it does not meet the requirements of the newspaper, people will not hire it!
I voted more than a dozen times in a row, and only two or three times were successful, and more articles were all lost.
This made Nie Mingcheng, who was still excited because he got more than 20 manuscript fees, completely wilted.
Dozens of rejections hit him even more deeply, and made him start to doubt himself: Perhaps, I am not suitable for the path of literature. The previous success was just a coincidence.
But he was unwilling.
Because, he found that he still preferred to sit in the room and write articles compared to the work that his sister and brother-in-law helped introduce.
Moreover, being a writer is far more decent than being a temporary worker or starting a small business!
He is a man of culture, how can he do any kind of work that can be done by illiterates?
With the finalization of the marriage, the bride price of 660 yuan was lowered, the house was completed, all the forty-eight legs were bought, and the washing machine given by the third sister was also sent into the new house in the envious eyes of the neighbors......
Everything is going according to plan, and the wedding date is approaching day by day.
The almost sky-high bride price, the new two-room house, the full set of furniture, and the latest washing machine in the provincial capital made Ma Xiufen extremely satisfied.
At first, she may have been a little unwilling and unhappy to be persecuted and calculated, but the strength and sincerity shown by the Nie family completely dispelled her negative emotions.
Even Nie Mingcheng, who looked a little weak and sloppy before, with the "dates" again and again, Ma Xiufen finally discovered his shining point.
Especially when I heard that Nie Mingcheng could write articles, and they were published in newspapers, and the most important thing was that an article the size of a palm in the newspaper could actually get six to ten yuan in manuscript fees. Ma Xiufen became more and more satisfied with Nie Mingcheng.
Nie Mingcheng is at home, he writes easily, publishes a few articles, and earns a few yuan for one article, and he can write ten or eight articles a month, adding up to fifty or sixty yuan.
This is higher than Ma Xiufen's salary in a month.
But can the two be the same?
Ma Xiufen is in the factory, getting up early and working hard, and in addition to work, she has to bother to manage the relationship with leaders and colleagues.
As for Nie Mingcheng, he doesn't have to work from morning to night every day, sitting at home, the wind can't blow, the rain can't rain, you don't have to get up early, you don't have to work overtime, you can make money just by writing like that......
Ma Xiufen felt envious when she thought about it.
And such a man will soon become her husband.
Ma Xiufen had already thought about it, and when they got married, she would not urge Nie Mingcheng to find a job, but let him continue to write articles.
In this way, there is no delay in earning money, and the housework at home is also handled.
Although life may not be rich, it will not be much worse.
No matter how bad it is, aren't there still a few sisters-in-law of the Nie family.
These people are all rich and capable people, not to mention anything else, just for the younger brother's marriage, a few sisters have money to contribute, something to contribute, tsk, people just get together, and give my brother the bride price, house, household appliances and so on!
What satisfies Ma Xiufen the most is that except for the fifth sister who is the best to speak, the other sisters are not in the county.
Far away, the sisters-in-law will not disturb the life of their little couple.
But if the younger brother is in trouble, these sisters will not stand idly by, no one can come, just send the money to it!
can get the light, and it won't cause trouble to your own family, it's simply the best sister-in-law.
The more Ma Xiufen thought about it, the more satisfied she became, and there was a little more tenderness and sweetness in Nie Mingcheng's eyes.
This made Nie Mingcheng both excited and empty-hearted.
Obviously, Ma Xiufen thought things too simply.
Writing articles to earn manuscript fees is not working in a factory.
In the factory, as long as you don't make mistakes, no matter how well you do, you will be able to harvest in drought and flood, or you won't be called an iron rice bowl.
But writing an article is different, and the manuscript fee or something is too accidental. You can get a few dollars for writing an article, but this kind of thing doesn't happen every day or month.
Especially recently, Nie Mingcheng was rejected by the newspaper several times in succession, so that he almost gave up.
However, every time I go on a date, I see Ma Xiufen looking at herself with starry eyes, that kind of admired and envied eyes, Nie Mingcheng really enjoys it.
The most important thing, he didn't dare to tell Ma Xiufen the truth, he was afraid that once Ma Xiufen knew that she couldn't make as much money as she imagined, this marriage would definitely not be completed smoothly.
Even if they barely get married, the two of them will not be happy after marriage.
I can't say that I quarrel every day, but I definitely haven't stopped living.
After dating a few times and having more intimate contact, Nie Mingcheng smelled a familiar smell on Ma Xiufen - her own father!
Ma Xiufen is actually somewhat similar to Nie Yongsheng in some places: shrewd, calculating, and ruthless at critical times......
